Frequently Asked Questions
Colt Peace Maker for sale
Why is a Colt 45 called a Peacemaker?
Early dealers like Kittredge & Co. popularized "Peacemaker" in their advertisements during the 1870s–1880s. The nickname stuck because it was simpler than Colt's official designation, "Single Action Army." The marketing term eventually became the gun's enduring common name.
Are Colt Peacemakers still in production?
Yes, Colt currently manufactures the Single Action Army revolver in several variants, though production is extremely limited and not readily available to the general public. Standard models start around $2,299, with Custom Shop versions reaching $3,450. All current production models use single-action operation and are chambered in .45 Colt.
What caliber was a Colt Peacemaker?
The Colt Peacemaker's most famous caliber is the .45 Colt, which remains the only caliber currently in production for the Colt SAA. Historically, options included .44-40 Winchester and other calibers popular on the frontier, but those variants are no longer produced by Colt.
Is 357 or 45 Colt more powerful?
.45 Colt loaded to full potential in a strong revolver delivers more raw power than .357 Magnum. The .357 offers higher velocity and flatter trajectory. Standard .45 Colt loads are roughly equal to .357, but heavy .45 Colt loads in Ruger or Freedom Arms revolvers exceed it significantly.
Was the Colt Peacemaker a good gun?
By 1870s standards, yes. The Peacemaker was reliable, accurate, and well-balanced, with a comfortable grip and smooth single-action trigger. It became the dominant frontier sidearm for good reason. Modern versions are still collected and shot today, though contemporary revolvers hold more rounds and offer additional features.
What year did they make the Colt Peacemaker?
Colt introduced the Peacemaker, officially called the Single Action Army, in 1873. It became the standard U.S. military sidearm and is closely associated with the American West. Original production ran until 1891, then resumed in 1956.
How much is the Colt Peacemaker pellet gun?
Colt Peacemaker pellet guns typically range from $139.95 to $179.99 at major retailers. These CO2-powered .177 caliber replicas feature all-metal construction and fire from individual cartridges.
